Ami VitaleAn international team of scientists has achieved an unprecedented milestone in rhinoceros reproduction by orchestrating the world's first pregnancy through embryo transfer at Ol Pejeta Conservancy @olpejetaconservancy in Kenya. The team confirmed a 70-day pregnancy with a 6.4 cm male embryo from a southern white rhino. The success of the southern white rhino embryo transfer and pregnancy serves as an emphatic proof of concept, propelling the team toward the pivotal next step—the transfer of northern white rhino embryos into a surrogate mother. This unparalleled achievement cements its status as a cornerstone in the unwavering mission to rescue the northern white rhino from the precipice of extinction. I can not wait to share more news in the coming months. #rhinos #northernwhiterhino #wildlife #conservation #kenya
